I just got one of these off ebay for $115 SHIPPED! I have gigged with these amps before, I just pulled the chassis and mounted onto a rack shelf. They scream through a 4X12. This is one of the best designed medium watt amps that is usable at all volume/gain levels. Love it, and I have numerous vintage amps around. Keep gravitating to this one!
@tatsandteles - was it a used or new? I am just about to swap one of the 12AX7 for a 12AY7 as I don't need so much gain up the dial. I actually love the fact it sounded better than my 59Bassman, just as articulate but hotter at lower vols and so much easier to carry! But oh - still 40W LOUD!
Thanks.I have only used an external 1x12 which makes it more spacious and articulate. The standard 10" does keep it tighter on the Brown sound side ala 59Bassman. BUT a 4x12 with more gain set will be extremely loud and penetrating. This amp does mega loud for it's size!
OOoh - that sounds nice...!

@snotmale It was used but looked brand new. Perfect amp for anything, and like you said-a simple tube swap makes big differences in gain. I love it.

I use mine often with a 1x12" Birch ply cabinet (as shown) with a 12" Celestion V30.
But if you like higher gain, you must try it through a 4x12 as it sounds enormous!
